Al Jazeera English - Witness: World and the Underworld
In Argentina the darkness of the military dictatorship that ruled from 1976 to 1983 lies in the stories of "Los Desaparecidos", the "Disappeared" - opponents of the junta who were kidnapped and tortured, before disappearing never to be seen again. The truth of what happened and the stories of individuals who vanished was unacknowledged by successive governments until recently. But now, it is beginning to emerge. For those who survived at the hands of the Junta, talking about their experiences has been extraordinarily painful, although cathartic. This powerful, personal film tells the tale of one such victim.

About Al Jazeera - Witness
Rageh Omaar presents Witness, a half-hour daily documentary series which features short, specially commissioned or acquired films gathered from independent filmmakers.
Each documentary reveals the unknown lives of ordinary people, following their lives, telling their stories and portraying the challenges that confront them. Our witnesses are people in a situation or those who have observed them first hand.
The films cover conflict, belief, the past and the future and as well as bringing new stories to light they showcase the talents of a new breed of multi-skilled, frontline journalist. In the studio, Rageh will further explore the issues raised in the films, with expert guests on the subject matter and the filmmakers themselves.
